I recently tried to talk to my wife about programming and she just rolled her eyes and said that I sounded like a 'programming geek'.
It was funny and made me wonder what exactly a stereotypical programming geek would be like, and am I one?
So I made a very serious, accurate, fair, and unbiased test, based purely upon cutting edge science.
Basically, if you score above 30 points you are a programming geek.
I scored 27, very close to programming geek level. How did you score? Do you have any questions you feel need to be included in the test?
A) Do you have any Star Wars merchandise in your room? If yes, 5 points.
B) Are you an avid fan of Star Trek? If yes, 5 points.
C) Are you obsessed with Japanese art? If yes, 3 points.
D) Do you own a classic console? If yes, 3 points.
E) Have you ever dressed up in cosplay? If yes, 3 points.
F) Have you ever played a Dungeons and Dragons board game? If yes, 5 points.
G) Have you ever subscribed to a subreddit? if yes, 2 points.
H) Do you despise mainstream pop music? If yes, 2 points.
I) Do you own a keyboard that lights up with different colours? If yes, 5 points.
J) Are you introverted? If yes, 5 points.
K) Have you or your family ever owned a brown coloured car? If yes, 15 points.
L) Do you own and use a sketch pad? If yes, 3 points.
M) Do you feel uncomfortable at parties? If yes, 2 points.
O) Do you find it nearly impossible to express your emotions? If yes, 5 points.
P) Do you only wear black or dark autumn colours? If yes, 5 points.
Q) Do you own more than one cat? If yes, 5 points.
R) Can you touch type? If yes, 3 points.
S) Do you actually enjoy using command line type stuff - as in Command Prompt / PowerShell etc. If yes, 5 points.
T) Do you not like to rip the wrapping whilst unboxing something or opening a present? If so, 2 points.
U) Do you know any Klingon vocabulary - even one word? If yes, 5 points.
V) Do you have any T shirts with a Marvel character on them? If yes, 3 points.
W) Have you ever given your pet a name that contains more than 2 syllables? If yes, 15 points.
X) Do you own a katana sword? If yes, 5 points.
Y) Do you own a wooden or plastic katana sword? If yes, 15 points.
